Mat Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've been wondering for a while about this: I have the beta installed on my machine, and it works great (welldone devs), but also it uses beta duplicates of all the non beta exe's and includes, examples, and everytthing else I've looked at! so why can't I run just the beta? when I try to uninstall v3, it says uninstall the beta first - is there a reason for this - or should I go ahead and delete the non beta files (lets face it, i'm not using them) I'm guessing it's OK, but I don't want to go around deleting something I shouldn't, thats why I'm posting.

Developers Jos Posted March 25, 2009 Developers Share Posted March 25, 2009 Let me start with a question: Why are you trying to do something none standard without clearly having enough knowlegde about the whole setup? Use the ZIP version when you want to do your own thing but don't blame us when things aren't working.

Developers Jos Posted March 25, 2009 Developers Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) sorry, I am not blaming anyone for whats gone wrong, that is the wrong tense, I am making sure I don't do anything wrong.Understand...We have spend a lot of time to come to the current setup with a separate Production and Beta directory tree because before people were constantly screwing up their setup when loading Beta.As stated, if you want something different just use the Zipped distribution that doesn't have any installer, but you will have to do everything yourself.Jos Edited March 25, 2009 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Richard Robertson Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I asked about this before. The reason is related to beta being potentially unstable. If you have to have the production version installed, and the beta ruins your computer, then it is your own fault for using the beta when the production version was available.
